3 Day Quote Challenge, Day 3 — Sarcasm Font
From my unfiltered friend, Romero Russo of Sarcasm Font.
One last time, thanks to Sue Ranscht who brings you stories from a youth she’s probably too old to remember in Space, Time, and Raspberries. My theme is Unfortunate Quotes that Outlive Us.

Making Money
Since I brought up what I do for a living in my L post, I thought I’d show you some of my favorite stuff. Enjoy. (I’d say, “Be amazed,” but that’d just be wrong.)
Given a choice of fabrics, this is what 3 year old Charlie chose.
